2011 Calendar of Motoring - It's back and we need your photos!

Back for 2011 is the North American Motoring - Calendar of Motoring. Like in years past North American Motoring will be selling calendars featuring photos of MINIs and Minis. We need your help though, we need photos.

Please read the following guidelines carefully before submitting your photos.


Calendar Format and Availability
Like the previous NAM Calendars of Motoring this calendar will be in COLOR!


Subject Matter
Photographs must contain a MINI or classic Mini. We are looking for images that convey adventure, exploration, and car use. With that in mind please don't submit images of your car sitting in your driveway. Get out and use them as they were intended and take photographs along your journey.


Calendar Entries - Format and Size Requirement
To produce a high-quality printed calendar the submissions must meet the following requirements:
  1. Color or black and white
  2. JPEG format with a minimum of 80%
  3. Your original image must be a minimum of 2272 pixels wide by 1704 pixels high. (This is approximately 7.5 inches wide by 5.68 inches high). Images uploaded for the contest may be smaller but must be at least 600 pixels wide to be eligible for consideration.
  4. When considering final photo selections for the calendar, the photographer will be contacted to see if a higher-resolution version can be provided.
Submissions
  1. To submit entries you must be a member of North American Motoring. If you do not currently have a membership please click here to join. Membership is free.
  2. Each member may submit multiple entries
  3. Submissions must be photographs that you have taken and are free of any form of copyright. Each photo will include credits to the photographer in the printed calendar. Please Contact Us if you are a professional photographer and would like to protect your copyrights but wish to enter the contest. Note: you may watermark your uploaded photo with your copyright as long as it does not adversely impact our ability to evaluate the image. To protect your copyright we recommend uploading a smaller version of the image no smaller than 600 pixels wide.
  4. Submissions can be used by North American Motoring without restriction (this may be waived relative to professional copyright protected submissions on a case by case basis).
  5. Any use of a submission by North American Motoring will be accompanied by a credit to the author of the photograph whenever possible.
  6. All entries will be reviewed upon submission to insure each meets contest requirements.
Selection Process and Winner Notification
All entries must be submitted by 12:00PM (Eastern) November 25, 2010. The winning entries will be selected by member vote beginning on November 26, 2010 at 12:00PM (Eastern) concluding on December 1, 2010. Winning entrants notified using the email address associated with their North American Motoring username (please insure that your email address is up to date by visiting User CP > Edit Email & Password). Winners will be notifed via email by 5pm (Mountain) November 9, 2008. Notification of winning entries may also be delivered on the North American Motoring home page.


Prizes
Each winning entry selected for use in the NAM calendar will be awarded a copy of the 2011 NAM Calendar of Motoring.
